Why do conservatives mock communism, marxism, and socialism yet lack an understanding of any?
I just don't understand the modern day pseudo-McCarthyism.

2. They only philosophy they have any understanding of is
"I got mine and screw you, Jack"

I hate Marxism/Socialism/Communism because it makes people not have the drive to get ahead and become wealthy. There is no use, because whatever you accomplish, the state takes away from you.

I am not jealous of the wealthy or affluent. I admire them for their accomplishments. They have worked hard to get where they are, they deserve the rewards.

We understand communism far better than you ideologues, because we realize that the idea doesn't work. People are still poor, others are still rich, and corruption runs even more rampant. What advances in medicine, art, or technology have come out of any communist country? Lurkers, any answers?

Communism is like being in a union-everyone gets the same, no matter how stupid, lazy and unable to contribute you are.. Effort and skill don't matter unless the ruling party wants to take you into their administration and coddle you so you can benefit them..

This is the major problem the Moonbats have alway had; they can't figure other people out.

Instead of researching, they rather hold on to the sterotypes that they've spend years crafting; which is good because they have no idea what we're thinking :D:D:D

Good question. Most conservatives are commies.

Funny how they all claim we don't know what it is, and not one of them puts forth what part it is we don't get. They just announce that we don't get it, and then move along.

Moonbats go out of their way not talk to,or read books by anyone who thinks differently then they do.

We on the other hand are awashed in Liberal and far left thoughts every day from newspapers, television, and movies; we know what they are thinking because they scream it at everyone 24/7, we couldn't escape it if we tried.

But this gives us the edge over them :D

I think the question should be re-asked as why do perfectly sane people hate commies.

18. They just need to give communism, marxism and socialism a chance.

Someone, somewhere, sometime is going to successfully implement those -isms and then they'll see.

It'll probably be some black dude from Chicago that was born in Kenya. :D

For myself and to provide a basic layman's description to any lurking DUmmies, here are a few of the big reasons why I am opposed to Communism and Socialism:
1. It gives way too much power to the government, power which can easily corrupt.
2. As a Christian, I wouldn't support a system under which over 100 million of my fellow Christians around the world have been persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and executed for refusing to renounce Christ and become atheists. My supporting a Communist/ Socialist system would be no different from a Jew supporting a Nazi system.
3. Ever notice how the countries which embrace Communism/ Socialism tend to produce some of the worst dictators in history, and have a whole laundry list of human rights violations?

Your missing their whole point. Everyone else has failed at socialism/communism but our liberals are so much smarter than anyone else in the world that they could do it right!
